Hey, uh...

If you didn't noticed, I reworked and merged GoldSource 48 protocol support to Xash3D FWGS. It's still highly experimental, but compared to the work done year ago, it's now much stable: many internal messages has been implemented, delta entities packet parsing has been fixed. It also includes a lot of fixes for issues caused by various anti-cheat software installed on server side.

You can now use latest version from master branch and connect to the server from console:

connect ip:port gs

Note that "gs" at the end is important, it tells the engine to use GoldSrc protocol compatibility mode.

However, there are few caveats: you can't connect to Steam servers yet. But, while I'm working on some sort of broker under that will communicate with Steam, there is another branch called "multiemulator" that incorporates MIT licensed library by @2010kohtep, which allows connection to pirate servers.

MultiEmulator by itself isn't made to circumvent Valve's DRM, but only generates a binary blob that's expected by some pirate servers. Reminder: piracy is highly illegal and Xash3D FWGS developers always encourage everyone to get Half-Life from the Steam store (come on, it costs like 5 bucks) and never provided any support to pirates.

That's it.

~~Most of you are WRONG. The right answer, Quake, is only 3rd by popularity. Congrats to those 28 people!~~

Proof: https://code.idtech.space/id/quake/src/branch/master/WinQuake/r_main.c#L155

And I, too, was wrong because the code above doesn't generate pink color. Quake with it's default palette can't provide pink. Half-Life 1 however, really made it pink by setting 255-th color in the palette pink before uploading it.

So the checkboard was made in Quake but Half-Lfie 1 made it pink.

trying to figure out shared structures used by the UberTools branch used in American McGee's Alice.

https://github.com/a1batross/openmohaa/blob/realice/alice_engine.h

most structures somewhat match the ones from FAKK2 SDK, but others have slight differences here and there. Mac port (from patch 1.1.2) really help as all function names were kept intact, it also built for x86 and ppc32, helps to cross-reference misdecompiled parts. Though I'm mostly using ppc binaries :)

the general idea is to run original binaries on top of patched OpenMoHAA's engine. At least I'm hoping that two other builds for Windows from 2000 and 2011 are compatible.
